I Might Be Going Crazy But This Painting Reminds Me Of Characters In A Videogame. Like NPCs Or The Sims

I might be going crazy but this painting reminds me of characters in a videogame. Like NPCs or the sims or something? That’s just the vibe that I got off this for some reason. Just stay with me on this one:

I’m thinking it might be the way they’re all milling about doing their daily tasks, paying no mind to each other or the viewer.

And we see them only from a distance at this kind of raised-up angle above, looking down on them — they seem so tiny here — it’s that feeling you get when you look out of a high-up window and watch people going about their lives, like a city full of ants. In that same way, we’re just a spectator here, watching these nuns. Intimate yet distant.
